Official Chart revealed Mogwai as the latest front-runner through a statement on their website and social media platforms.
It read: "Mogwai lead the race for this week’s Number 1 album with As The Love Continues
"Mogwai are leading an incredibly close race for Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with As The Love Continues.
"The Scottish post-rock group are Number 1 on today’s Official Chart Update – though just 1,800 chart sales currently separate the Top 3.
"Should Mogwai’s tenth studio album continue its momentum, it would be their first to top the Official Albums Chart, and third consecutive Top 10 studio album, following 2014’s Rave Tapes and 2017’s Every Country’s Sun."
The band, hailed for hits such as Helicon and 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong, formed in Glasgow in 1995.
